The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo 4-Minute Trailer

Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara work together to solve a crime in David Fincher’s adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, based on the novel of the same name by Stieg Larsson. The trailer, which is just a little shy of hitting the 4-minute mark does something most movie trailers fail to do.
The story of disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) teaming up with goth computer hacker Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara) to catch a killer has an in-depth plot and a huge cast of characters to consider as suspects, and the new movie trailer manages to give us a solid look at the storyline without giving away any juicy details that could spoil things for us. It’s a rare feat when compared to those trailers that seem to show flashes of random action or simply spill all the best moments of a film.
In the preview below, we get to find out how Mikael and Lisbeth meet, who the major players are, and even discover that what starts out as a search for one girl becomes a hunt for a “killer of women.”
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo still seems to have a somewhat gritty and raw feeling to it, which makes me wonder if it will appeal to a large number of movie-goers that are accustomed to the sleek, polished look that most movies have these days.
The film, which also stars Stellan Skarsgård, Robin Wright, Christopher Plummer, and Joely Richardson, opens in theaters on December 21st.
